Ignore if you have a weak stomach
Okay well every year around this time of year (December, winter time...) I ALAWYS get sick and I mean sick to my stomach. It's usually the only time of the year I get this sick. Anyway that's not really the point. I was wondering is there anything I can do right now. Lately it's just been dry heeves (sp?) I mean I've thrown up once since about 8-8:15 which was about 8:45 and that's only because I didn't care, I was really thirsty so I drank some Ginger Ale right after throwing up. But is there any thing I can eat or drink that shouldn't upset my stomach too much, and right now it's about 10 minutes to 9 and the last time I threw up was 8:45 because I drank something but technically not including the dry heeves which every once in a while left me with a little bit of regurgitation, was like 7:30. 7:45.
Yeah so just how long should I wait and what type of foods or beverages would be best to have. I'll just go with it's been about 15 minutes since I last threw up... thanks, sorry it's gross.

Eat crackers, it settles your stomach so that some of the putrid feeling leaves.

My husband was in the hospital a few months ago with a stomach virus, and the doctor told him that the best thing was the BRAT diet until he felt completely better.
Bananas
Rice
Applesauce
Toast
My husband found that the applesauce and toast helped the best. The doctor also said to drink water and gatorade to stay hydrated.
I hope you feel better.

First of all start eating more fruit than you do beverages that way you feed yourself and are giving yourself natural fluids at the same time, also after eating some cut apples or pineapples you know any type of fruit IN SMALL PIECES IF YOU EAT IN BIG BITES YOU'LL THROW UP TRUST ME THAT'S PROBABLY WHY AND IF YOUR DRINKING GINER ALE DON'T TAKE BIG GULPS TAKE SMALL SIPS AT A TIME UNTIL YOUR NOT THIRSTY ANYMORE. I wrote those in big words so you can follow that advice more then these lowercase words advice. okay so do that and also if you get really hungry try eating a salad. IN SMALL BITES WITH ONLY ITALIAN DRESSING NO HEAVY DRESSINGS LIKE RANCH OR SOUR CREAM.

First of all, if you only get sick around December and the winter time, ask yourself if there is more stress in your life at that time. Stress can cause all kinds of things to happen to the body. Having a distressed stomach is one very common reaction to stress. Sometimes the diagnosis is called "nervous stomach." The regurgitaion you experience could be just from the constant need to vomit, or it could be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) where the lining of your esophagus is disturbed by acid reflux. The esophagus is lined with a mucous membrane which helps the smooth passage of food from the mouth to the stomach. If there is too much acid going into your body, sometimes the acid in the stomach will slip back up into the esophagus, disturbing this membrane and causing a burning sensation similar to indigestion, though indigestion is usually felt a little lower.
I think you also might want to check out the type of foods you might be eating at this time of the year with all the holidays and parties that are going on. I know that if I eat too much chocolate or other sweets, i.e., very rich foods, I have problems similar to yours. (Have you been eating a lot of nuts right now? These can cause problems too.)
But, it sounds as though you are having the dry heaves an incredibly ridiculous amount of the time. That just doesn't sound right to me and I can't help but suggest that you see a doctor about this - even if it only occurs part of the year. It can't be healthy for your system at all.
Ginger Ale, 7-up or Sprite are good drinks, especially if they're a little flat and not too cold. Stay away from drinks that have caffeine or are high in acid concentrate, e.g., orange juice and others. Fruits are also usually hard on the stomach when you're feeling like this. Saltines often calm the stomach and allow you to get some kind of food into your body. Jello, broth and chicken noodle soup can help also. You don't want to eat soups that have too many ingredients such as lots of veggies because the veggies may be too hard on your stomach right now. Try to eat small amunts of light, soft and non-acidic foods and eat as often as you can. I think it would be okay to drink your drinks shortly after you throw up but only have a small amount at these times; I would wait about 30 minutes before eating any food.
This was not a "gross" question. It is obviously something you're very concerned about and I don't blame you. You can't possibly be comfortable and this may even seem a little scary to you.
Seriously, I would consider seeing a doctor AND I would look at what kind of stresses may be prevalent in your life at this time of year. There are definitely medications to help with stress, a "nervous stomach," GERD, and any other possible problems that may be going on. Hopefully some other people will have some helpful suggestions for you. Good luck and I really hope you feel better and get this resolved SOON!
